Reports flying in today. Whooper swans took the limelight this morning with James having 4 fly over Gruinart flats, and Louise doing a double-take after seeing 2 in Small Isles bay on Jura.
Down at Claddach, Mary had 5 Curlew near the loch this afternoon, the first down there for a while.
This evening, Simon reports 2 Common Sandpiper and 2 Shelduck on the sandy bay between Kildalton and Kildalton Church. Simon also sent in a report from Friday afternoon seeing 1 female Hen Harrier and 2 Curlew at Gruinart's north hide.
Linden's walk to An Claddach bothy from Ballygrant saw 6 Common Sandpiper, a male Hen Harrier, a Kestrel over the water, a Common lizard, 3 Common seals and two gannets practicing for the upcoming Olympics with some synchronised diving! On the return journey over the moorland, Linden was treated to more raptors! A Peregrine, Male Hen Harrier, Sparrowhawk and great view of a Golden Eagle and another Male Hen Harrier at the same time, alongside good numbers of Curlew and an Adder.
Thanks for all of today's reports.
